About the Course

By the end of this course, learners will understand what computer vision is, as well as its mission of making computers see and interpret the world as humans do, by learning core concepts of the field and receiving an introduction to human vision capabilities. They are equipped to identify some key application areas of computer vision and understand the digital imaging process. The course covers crucial elements that enable computer vision: digital signal processing, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. Topics include color, light and image formation; early, mid- and high-level vision; and mathematics essential for computer vision. Learners will be able to apply mathematical techniques to complete computer vision tasks. This course is ideal for anyone curious about or interested in exploring the concepts of computer vision. It is also useful for those who desire a refresher course in mathematical concepts of computer vision. Learners should have basic programming skills and experience (understanding of for loops, if/else statements), specifically in MATLAB (Mathworks provides the basics here: https://www.mathworks.com/learn/tutorials/matlab-onramp.html). Learners should also be familiar with the following: basic linear algebra (matrix vector operations and notation), 3D co-ordinate systems and transformations, basic calculus (derivatives and integration) and basic probability (random variables). Material includes online lectures, videos, demos, hands-on exercises, project work, readings and discussions. Learners gain experience writing computer vision programs through online labs using MATLAB* and supporting toolboxes. * A free license to install MATLAB for the duration of the course is available from MathWorks....

Lays a good foundation for Computer Vision. There should be more programming examples as some of the labs were beyond the scope of what was taught in the videos, especially the last one.

The course should rated zero. I have never taken a course as bad as this one. The whole course is not worth a dime to buy, and is not worth a minute to study. All it gives is a bunch of extremely superficial videos on computer vision, which are completely unrelated with the quiz. The Matlab assignments are also utterly irrelevant with the rest of the course. If you want to learn Computer Vision, please do avoid it; if you want to learn Matlab, make sure you avoid it (it gives zero instruction on how to use Matlab)!

This course gave a very brief introduction to the history and basic concepts in computer vision. Most of the materials are rather too shallow and a bit skimming.

However, the Matlab exercises are fun, especially the last one in week 4.

This course could have been a lot more exciting by diving deeper into the concepts with more quantitative exercises. The current version is not recommended if you really want to learn basic computer vision techniques.

Teaches pretty much nothing. Feels like an introduction to a full course with no actual course behind it. Teachers jumped from explaining basics to talking about subjects that had never been brought up before. Labs were already completed most of the time or had strange errors. Course feels outdated and offers no suggestions for how to continue.

The course is okay but doesn't tell anything about the basics of MATLAB and directly gives you an assignment. So, enrol in this course only if you are familiar with programming in MATLAB. Another thing which I noticed is there is no one to answer your questions in Discussions Forum which is sad.

I was unable to understand how to solve the assignments although I completed all the tutorials for the week completely. Initially I tried to take help from the forum to understand but than when the same thing repeated in further weeks I skipped the tutorials.

Inconsistent volume throughout lectures. Lecture content started off simple then dived deep into the technical in a matter of seconds. Lecture and weekly MATLAB assignments don't correlate. No guidance or preparatory substance for MATLAB assignments.

This is not an intermediate level course. They just gave an overview of techniques used and not how to apply those techniques. Also the instructor is teaching like he is reciting what's present on the screen.

One Star because that is the minimum.

Zero deepnes in topics. Maybe ok for summarize what topics you need to learn, but sure you can't learn them with this "curse".

Luckily I did not pay for that.

This course teaches you very little. It doesn't teach you computer vision, it teaches you about computer vision. Tremendous name dropping of algorithm names, without any details.

Very disappointed.

It did successfully cover all the topics and highlighted the importance of certain things, but it did not teach any of them. This isn't a course, it's just an overview.

This course is extremely high level. So high level that it is nearly void of information. They should rename this "what computer vision is".

Very basic course. Should be a free course introductory to a set of in deep courses. Week 4 is pathetic. some videos of less than 2 minutes
